Hi all, I am currently planning a new home file server on a gigabit network that will be utilizing ZFS (on SXDE). The files will be shared via samba as I have a mixed OS environment. The controller card I will be using is the SuperMicro SAT2-MV8 133MHz PCI-X card. I have two options for CPUs/motherboards: AMD Athlon64 3000+ (64 bit) DFI LanParty UT 250gb (NForce 3 based) motherboard 32 bit

I have a Tyan Tiger S2466 MPX motherboard with Dual Atlon MP 2800+ CPUs and 1GB PC2100 DDR SDRAM. For disk drive I have an LSI53C1030 and 4 Seagate ST336607LWs in a software raid 5 configuration. I installed Centos 4.1 and everything was fine running kernel-smp-2.6.9-11.EL. However when I upated to Centos 4.2 I have run into problems. Namely after a finite amount of disk traffic the system

Alle, We have recently had one of our office servers go south. The hardware was an Intel SDS2 motherboard (EATX), Dual Intel PIII 1.4GHz FC-PGA2-L2 512KB, 3GB (6x512MB) 168 pin DIMM, SDRAM 133MHz/PC-133-ECC with 1x3Ware 7006-2 and 2x3Ware 7506-4LP RAID controllers. The OS was RHEL3. Apparently, according to the beep codes, there has been an FRB failure. I've migrated most of the

I have recently upgraded to 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 and within several days the machine crashed with the following error (repeating in mcelog): MCE 0 HARDWARE ERROR. This is *NOT* a software problem! Please contact your hardware vendor CPU 2 BANK 8 MISC 41 MCG status: MCi status: Error overflow Uncorrected error MCi_MISC register valid Processor context corrupt MCA: MEMORY CONTROLLER AC_CHANNEL0_ERR

Tearing our hair out on this one. Trying to install CentOS 5 x86_64 on a Supermicro X7DVL-E with 2 Xeon L5320 quad core CPUs, 3Ware SATA RAID controller in a mirrored setup and 4 GB of memory. Installation crashes at random places while copying the files. We've run memtest86 for 24 hours without any errors, replaced the RAID controller, motherboard and disks, but still no luck.

Hi All, I've just started caring for a dual Opteron machine. It has a 3Ware 9500S-12 RAID controller, a Tyan S2882G3NR motherboard, 10 IBM 400GB disk drives, and a 650 watt power supply. It has been behaving itself quite nicely until recently. The poor behavior started when I upgraded the OS from CentOS 4.1 (32 bit) to Centos 4.1 (x86_64). When running in uniprocessor mode, the system

Hi, I am running a Xeon with hyperthreading support. Until last week's HTT modifications, according to ps(1) and top(1) both logicals CPUs were in use. (Processes in CPU0 and CPU1 state; "C" column showing "0" or "1".) This has changed with a recent -STABLE kernel which includes last week's changes to HTT (removing "options HTT"). I am only seeing

From: Nate Studer <nate.studer@dornerworks.com> Add a utility function to update the rest of the timeslice accounting fields when updating the timeslice of the credit scheduler, so that capped CPUs behave correctly. Before this patch changing the timeslice to a value higher than the default would result in a domain not utilizing its full capacity and changing the timeslice to a value lower

Hi, Please let me know in case I am posting my question to the wrong forum. I apologize if that is the case! Here is my question: We run CentOS 6.3 on a server with dual Xeon CPU's. Our "dual blade" server uses this motherboard: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C600/X9DRT-HF.cfm We have two of these CPUs installed and working: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 0 @

Gotta say, centos has been tough to install and get working. The anaconda installer makes large drive setups horridly tedious (especially if reinstalling a lot). Package selection seems a bit off... I did a virtualization package, no custom..did not install qemu, libvirt, and all attempts to do any virtualization failed due to non-installed packages. Then I decided to select all the

Hello, I am trying to install FreeBSD 9.2-RC4 on Supermicro server with Intel Xeon E3-1240 v3 processor. The processor has 4 cores with 8 threads.

Has anyone stumbled across an Intel brand motherboard which both works with the 8000 series of CPUs and with CentOS 4/5 out of the box? (by works I mean the NIC/Disk controllers without "fudgery") The DG31 board "kind of" works but unfortunately it has 2 DIMM slots, the realtek NIC isn't supported (don't know why, its just a standard realtek NIC, although it might be

Hello, I am looking into building a workstation using Xen to host several operating systems. Looking at the pci passthrough requirements of Xen4.1 on the VTdHowTo<http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/VTdHowTo>page, I am a little puzzled with the fact that only Intel Core2Duo (with VT-x), Core2Quad, i7 and Core i5 (vPro Brand) CPU''s are supported while motherboards with the i55x0

I'm setting up a new server on Centos 7, running x86_64. Motherboard is a MITAC PD11BICC, running Indian Bay Trail, with a i915 chipset. I installed "Server with GUI", but when it boots I get the "blank screen with a cursor" issue. Decided to see about disabling the i915 driver, by blacklisting it. but I don't think I have the right commands, as when I did that, it

We're having problems with FreeBSD 5.4, 6.0, and 6.1 and an ICP Vortex GDT8546RZ 4 port SATA RAID card in a Tyan S2460 system with dual AMD Athlon MP 1600+ CPUs. We do not have any problems with this configuration under FreeBSD 4.11, and we have the same ICP cards in Tyan based Opterion system (S2882 and S4882) run with out problems under FreeBSD 5.4 and 6.1. We can reproduce the problem on

Seems like overnight every motherboard that worked with linux has DROPPED off the face of the earth. Every motherboard I looked at is using the realtek 8111 chipset and a northbridge that is not supported. Example: GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3, does not work with linux I tried disabling the onboard NIC and using a PCI-E intel card I always use and that would not work either. The north or south bridge

I had my eye on the Tyan dual-Opteron mobos for awhile. I tried to find a posting *anywhere* sharing experiences with these boards under Linux. No such luck. So placing myself under the heading "Where Angles Fear to Tread," I went ahead and built a system anyway. Here's what I've learned. The specs: Tyan Thunder K8SE S2892, BIOS 1.01 2x Opteron 270, 2Ghz Dual-Core, retail

Hi all. I am having an issue and quite frankly would rather not spend the entire next two days learning the entire snmp program. I am hoping someone out there has used MRTG and SNMP to make it work. I have both installed. Single server, polling itself. Question 1- does snmpd have to run as a daemon, or only run once so I can get OID and MIBs from it? Question 2- does anyone know the command

Hi, I'm running FC3 with kernel 2.6.11. All the binary files and zaptel kernel modules is not available to system at boot time. They are extracted in a ram disk at system startup and then zaptel modules are loaded manually and so on. I have no problem with this boot routine and i've been tested all digium cards (expect tdm24) and they work fine till now. The problem appeared when i
